Re: Who has the V8 cotter pin clutch for sale?
31:The pressure plate from Ft Wayne clutch came with the cotter pins, which I got after an E clip failure at an intersection. I initially thought the clutch arm cracked when putting it in gear. Got it home, the clutch arm seemed OK, removed the inspection plate and there was one of the release arms flopping around. Got it out and the pivot pin was gone(never to be found) and noticed that the pins were secured by the eclip. Looked at another old PP and it had the cotter pins.
What I have since noticed a couple of times, and do not know if this is universal, is that the so called 8N tractor pressure plate has the eclips, while the auto pressure plate with the counter weights on the arms (to increase pressure when rotating) have the cotter pins. As said, do not know if this is always true. Best to check when buying and installing.
